Man
of the Heart
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the
hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be
the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet SPIRIT, which is in the sight of God of
great price" (1 Pet. 3:3-4).
No one knows what you look like! They may think they do, but they don't.
You, "the real you," are a hidden man. You are a spirit; you have a
soul; and you live in a body (1 Thess. 5:23).
What people see is only the "house" you live in.
I've heard ministers quote two-thirds of First Peter 3:3 and say that
women shouldn't fix their hair and shouldn't wear gold. But if that's
what Peter meant, then women shouldn't wear clothes, either!
Because if Peter told women not to plait their hair and not to wear
gold, then he also told them not to put on apparel. (Apparel is
clothing.) No, Peter is really saying "probably because women are more
prone to do this, don't spend all of your time on your hair, on your
clothes, and on the outward man.
See to it, first of all, that the hidden man of the heart that's the
spiritual man, the real man, the inward man, is adorned with a meek and
a quiet spirit."
Confession: I am a spirit. I am a child of the Father of spirits. I
have a soul. And I live in a body. I see to the adorning of the real me,
the hidden man of the heart.
